Very nice! I've never seen that colour before (on a Fender)

 

[SaucyJack]

Very cool!!!!

 

[Acoustic Tom]

Very nice! I lived in your neck of the woods for 8 years. Nice place. Take care of that beauty

Sweet Strat Plus!

I grew up in Owen Sound & bought my first guitar (‘73 Mustang) from Dave Fromager after he sold the store to the other Dave (I forget his last name but Larry Jensen worked there along with Tim Cameron before he moved to Tranna). I then bought my second & third guitars (a black/RW Squier Strat & ‘80 LP Custom that I wish I still had) at the store. How long have you lived in the Sound?

I guy I played with in the 90's had what he called a "Mustard" strat like that. He played rock for fun and country and western for money with that guitar. He had a Carvin amp that he used, wanna say x100?

I remember seeing Kim Mitchell playing a Graffiti Yellow strat at a concert years ago.

Notably, he would often hold the guitar over his head (by the headstock and opposite end of the body) and shake it just enough to get a long slow vibrato.

Ah, Kim Mitchell....

Love that colour. Tried to get a jaguar body in this colour from mjt but it was Monaco yellow. Plus they fudged the measurements on the post holes. Thanks MJT.

congrats, I’m jealous

 

[Vally]

Very nice, love that yellow. Yours is just a little older than mine.

Crazy, but an ebay seller in Montreal parted out a strat plus in August with a J Cruz neck. No idea why. He broke it down to the bare body, selling the bridge, loaded PG, body, neck and case in separate auctions. Total netted came to $1800ish, which may be slightly more than it might've sold complete but seems like a shame to break up such a nice guitar.

Reverb, ebay, kijiji, here.... wherever you can find them. They're not always for sale but people do part out these once in a while.

How is it that buying another guitar seems to always come first ?
I think I have a two in one NGD lined up for tomorrow

So you bought the yellow Strat Plus mentioned in the first post? What parts do you need for it?

To me , it looks like the pick guard and pickup covers .
I'm pretty sure mine are painted . Looks good but .,....
But I think it the best sounding of all my strats .
I guess that's option , but I really like it alooooot .
Just an enjoyable player around .
I feel fortunate to have come across it .
He wasn't letting go easy , I didn't pay top and he didn't get top .
I believe we worked a fair deal . Ya nice man around .

I guess I should look deeper into it before I start scrapping .

Are you wanting to put it back to stock? If so you'll need to replace everything black, including tuners, bridge and the nut should be a Wilkinson and not an LSR. LSR were used on mid to late '93 and up. My '88 plus is my main strat... They are great guitars.
